Sadly, during the Supreme Court arguments on whether Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office under the 14th Amendment for engaging in insurrection, the Supreme Court justices put details over democracy. Glenn reviews the arguments in Donald Trump v. Norma Anderson (the case in which the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from the Colorado state ballot) and discusses how the justices got bogged down in the details and seemed to lose sight of the big picture: that the plain language of the Constitution disqualifies Trump from holding office.

Donald Trump is again telling dangerous, incendiary, violence-inducing lies. This time, his lies are about the FBI agents who executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

In a new court filing in Trump's federal prosecution in Florida, Special Counsel Jack Smith asks Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon to modify Trump's conditions of pretrial release to include a prohibition against him making "statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case." Smith also exposes Trump's lies about how the FBI was intending to hurt Trump's family on the day the search warrant was executed, because the FBI specifically executed the warrant at a time when neither Trump nor any of his family members were in Florida.

Jack Smith Seeks 4th Gag Order for Trump's Dangerous, Violence-Inducing Lies About FBI Agents

It's difficult to understand how a defendant on pre-trial release in four criminal cases is still allowed to endanger the community by holding hate rallies that inspire violence.

Glenn discusses the history of Trump's dangerous and reckless rhetoric - from inspiring a significant rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans during the COVID pandemic, to inspiring a silent attack on the US Capitol on January 6, to his most recent comments about "immigrants forming an Army" and "living in tents" in "our places."

The law provides that if a defendant who is on pretrial release in a felony case presents a danger to the community, he is to be detained pending trial. And yet, Trump remains free to endanger anyone he pleases. This is not how our criminal justice system was designed to work.

Donald Trump's Bronx Hate Rally Demonizes Immigrants, the Homeless, and Others

Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon should not be presiding over Trump's federal prosecution in Florida. She has brought the case to a screeching halt by declining to resolve motions in a timely manner and by refusing to even set a trial date. Judge Cannon is NOT an honest broker of the law, and the federal law requires a judge to be removed when his/her "impartially might reasonably be questioned."

Glenn reviews the latest hearing conducted by Judge Cannon which provides further evidence of her determination to slow walk the case so as to prevent a timely trial.

For a step-by-step guide to how every American citizen can file a judicious complaint form demanding a fair, impartial, and independent jurist be appointed to preside over the Trump Florida case, please click on the following link:

Judge Aileen Cannon Grinds Trump's Classified Documents/Obstruction/Espionage Case to a Halt

Donald Trump repeatedly and incessantly told the American people he would absolutely testify in his defense at his criminal trial in New York. But, when he had the opportunity to take the stand and tell his side of the story - Trump punked out.

Glenn discusses a defendant's right to testify and a defendant's right to decline to testify. But importantly, it is the defendant's decision - not the defense attorney's decision - to make. Trump is the one who made the decisions that he should not testify and could not withstand the rigors of cross-examination. He also also discusses the burden of proof in criminal cases - beyond a reasonable doubt - and how judges define that evidentiary standard for the jurors.

Trump Promises to Testify But Fails to Defends Himself in New York Criminal Trial

As the only witness of consequence, Donald Trump's lawyers called Robert Costello to testify in Trump's defense. And if it wasn't bad enough that Judge Juan Merchan had to clear the courtroom for Costello's "contemptuous" behavior, the cross-examination of Costello (including with his own emails) also proved to be devastating to Donald Trump's defense.

Glenn discusses why most experienced criminal litigators know - it's really much better to put NO witnesses on the stand than to put on a weak or damaging witness in the case.
